It is difficult to say if a particular mixed breed is hypoallergenic, as a person's allergy sensitivity depends on a variety of factors and each dog may have its own allergens. However, some dogs are less likely to cause allergies because they shed less dander and less fur, which means they release fewer allergenic proteins. However, both of the breeds included in the Bichon Frise and Jack Russell Terrier are not known to be hypoallergenic breeds. So it is possible that a mixed breed of these breeds may not be hypoallergenic for people who are sensitive to dog allergens. If you are sensitive to dog allergens and would like to choose a dog, we recommend that you seek medical advice and consider a hypoallergenic dog if appropriate.
